I'm confused. I thought album sales were so low that artists can't rely on them, so they must on tour sales. This says otherwise?

The overall sum that an album makes is split into loads and loads and loads of pieces for so many different people  Label and all of the corporate people involved, the people who contributed anything towards the album (visuals, audio, etc), and more

So what are they including in these figures?

 

If it was just sales, say it sold 10 million each album would have to cost $50  

 

Anyway, after the labels cut, taxes and expenses, i wonder how much Gaga actually made for herself  

Streaming figures, royalties from radio play, etc i'd assume. Maybe even a cut of all the singles money too Gaga has made such a miniscule amount from the work. The Lady Gaga brand is worth billions, she's only got a net worth of $275,000,000

Well im sure she spent some of it maybe shes made more than $275,000,000 no doubt

 

remembet other people are involved in making it happen and its only fair they get a cut too...

 

then theres expenses and the label which takes its cut too

 

its normal and to be expected
